Coverage Average cured foam density is 3.0 pounds per cubic foot 3,000 to 3,200 board feet per 1000 lbs kit consisting of 1 drum Part A and 1 drum Part B - assuming proper field processing. Storage and Shelf Life Both components should be stored in their original containers and away from excessive heat and moisture, especially after the seals have been broken or some materials have been used. Drums must be stored indoors and jobsite tanks maintained between 50 F and 75 F. Containers should be opened carefully to allow any pressure buildup to be vented safely while wearing full safety protection. Excessive venting of the B component may result in higher density foam and reduced yield. Materials stored at temperatures below 50 F will increase in viscosity and some application equipment may not reach adequate spray temperature set points. Supply pumps and hoses must be sized to provide adequate supply when materials are cold and at a higher viscosity. Shelf Life: Excessive low or high temperatures may decrease shelf life. When stored in the original unopened container at 50 F-75 F, the shelf life of the Part B component is six months. Temperature above 75 F decreases the shelf life. The Part A component has a shelf life of 6 months in unopened containers when stored at 65-85 F. Surface Preparation Surfaces to receive PERMAX 3.0 must be clean and dry, free of dirt, oil, solvent, grease, loose particulates, frost, ice and other foreign matter which could inhibit adhesion. Moisture content and surface conditions of substrate are critical to adhesion of PERMAX 3.0 and need to be verified by installing contractor in small test areas before proceeding with full application. Priming options: Substrate Primer Application Rate New Construction: plywood, OSB, cleaned concrete, CMU Acryprime Substrate Primer or Acryprime Substrate SG Primer ½ gallon / 100 ft 2 Re-Cover: Existing cleaned roof surfaces to receive SPF Galvanized steel or aluminum surfaces including: flashing, vents, ducts, piping, etc. Acryprime Substrate Primer or Acryprime Substrate SG Primer Sherwin Williams DTM Wash Primer or Krylon Industrial Coatings ½ gallon / 100 ft 2 ¼ to 1/3 gallon /100 ft 2 Water-Reducible Wash Primer Note: All primers must be applied per published technical data sheets and product labels. Plywood, OSB, and lumber shall not have greater than 15% moisture content. Generally a primer is not required for these surfaces. On substrates where the moisture content cannot be determined or exceeds 15%, a suitable primer is recommended. Adhesion spray tests may be performed with insulating foam and the interface line checked upon cure for good cell structure and adhesion. Warming of these surfaces during winter conditions may increase adhesion. CMU, structural and poured-in-place concrete must have a minimum 28-day cure and moisture content below 15%. Painted Steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum panels: check surfaces for mill oil used in the manufacturing process and moisture condensate. All oil must be removed and the surface clean and dry before priming. Washed and dry painted steel panels may not require priming. All aluminum and galvanized panels must be primed using Sherwin Williams DTM Wash Primer or Krylon Industrial Coatings Water-Reducible Wash Primer. Recommended Substrate Temperatures PERMAX 3.0 is formulated in three different reactivity profiles to meet varying substrate temperatures at jobsite. For applications below 50 F, Henry Company technical personnel should be consulted.

Complete cure usually occurs within 24-72 hours Climatic Conditions and Humidity Moisture in the form of rain, dew or frost can seriously affect the quality and adhesion of the PERMAX 3.0 to the substrate or itself. Henry Company does not recommend the spraying of this system when the relative humidity (RH) exceeds 85%. Application Equipment The proportioning equipment shall be manufactured specifically for heating, mixing, and spray application of polyurethane foam and be able to maintain 1:1 metering with a +2% variance and adequate main heating capacity to deliver heated and pressurized materials up to 130 F. Heated hose must be able to maintain pre-set temperatures for the full length of the hose. Minimum 2:1 ratio feeder pumps are required to supply stored materials through minimum ½ inch supply hoses. Pressurized and heated tanks systems may be used if sized appropriately to provide adequate flow at maximum operating capacity and temperatures. Older equipment may be upgraded with supplemental heaters or minimum H-2000 heater / proportioner to adequately pre-heat to process temperatures. Spray guns such as GX-7, GAP Pro Gun and Fusion gun, are well suited for roofing applications where 20 lbs/min or higher volume is desired. These guns may be fitted with smaller output tips (15 18 lbs/min.) to perform detail work on pipes, curbs, platforms and parapets etc. Processing Temperatures Recommended processing temperatures Part A Main 100-120 F, Part B Main 110-125 F, Hose 110-120 F are critical settings to achieve viscosity to allow balanced pressure during spraying. Balanced chemical output pressures are important to produce a good mix. Foam output pressures greater than 200 psi differential indicate either improper chemical temperatures, or worn gun/packing parts. Unequal pressures will cause poor chemical mixing through the module and uneven backpressure. A critical requirement for good spray mixing requires appropriate tip/module sizing to the proportioner and adequate heating capacity. Unequal pressure (>200 psi) can cause excessive pump wear. Do not re-circulate the B component for increased storage temperature as frothing or boil-over may occur at material temperatures above 60 F. Page 3 of 5 REV: 09/07/2010
Spraying Thin flash passes (<1/2 inch) are not permitted. They can result in reduced yield and loss of adhesion. It is recommended that the total design thickness be completed each day. This spray system should be applied in uniform minimum pass thickness of 3/4-inch, maximum pass thickness 1 ½ inch. Application temperatures below 50 F may require reduction in single pass application thickness. Additional thickness may be applied after a brief waiting period. Yield and in-place density is dependent upon the temperature of the substrate, ambient air temperature, gun speed application, gun tip size, and the output of the proportioning unit. PERMAX 3.0 is designed to provide maximum yield when sprayed in ¾ inch to1inch thick passes. Excessive pass thickness can cause reduced density, poor cell structure and lower physical properties.

Precautions Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet for this product before use. The numerical flame spread and all other data presented is not intended to reflect the hazards presented by this or any other material under actual fire conditions. Polyurethane foam may present a fire hazard if exposed to fire or excessive heat (i.e. cutting torches). The use of polyurethane foam in interior applications on walls or ceiling presents an unreasonable fire risk unless protected by an approved fire resistant thermal barrier with a fire rating of not less than 15 minutes. A UBC or IRC code definition of an approved thermal barrier is a material equal in fire resistance to ½ inch gypsum board. Each firm, person, or corporation engaged in the use, manufacture, or production or application of the polyurethane foams produced from these resins should carefully examine the end use to determine any potential fire hazard associated with such product in a specific use and to utilize appropriate precautionary and safety measures. Consult with local building code officials and insurance agency personnel before application. Do not re-circulate the B component for increased storage temperature as frothing or boil-over may occur at material temperatures above 60 F. Polyurethane foams will burn when exposed to fire. Caution during application must be observed with signs posted for other trades, Caution Combustible Insulation, No Welding or Hot Work Allowed. On a daily basis remove all debris and shavings from the job site leaving a clean work area. Page 4 of 5 REV: 09/07/2010
